My Journey to Food Freedom

My journey to food freedom began with a seemingly harmless childhood habit: cleaning my plate, even when I wasn’t hungry. This instilled a pattern of overeating that stayed with me for years. When puberty hit, my overeating led to weight gain, but the real struggle didn’t start until I moved abroad at 28. Navigating a new culture was stressful, and the easy access to convenience foods triggered emotional eating. I felt completely out of control with food.

Desperate for a solution, I turned to diets, but they only provided temporary relief, never addressing the underlying issues. Then, I discovered intuitive eating. It was a revelation. IE taught me to trust my body’s wisdom, honour my hunger, and rediscover the joy of eating without guilt or restriction. It also helped me distinguish between physical hunger and emotional hunger, and to release the guilt and shame I carried around food. That’s when I finally found peace with food.

Today, I’m free from emotional eating, reconnected with my body,

and here to guide you on your own path to food freedom.

My Professional Experience

My passion for helping women find food freedom is rooted in seven years of experience working with hundreds of clients. Each woman's journey has taught me something new, giving me a deep understanding of the challenges and triumphs involved in breaking free from diet culture. I've seen the power of intuitive eating to transform lives, and I'm committed to using my expertise to guide you on your path to lasting food peace and body confidence.

My Core Beliefs

Food Freedom

Food should nourish your body and soul, not be a source of stress or guilt.

Body Trust

You are the expert of your own body. Trusting yourself and your instincts is key to lasting change.

Sustainability

Quick fixes don't work. I'm committed to helping you build habits that last a lifetime.

Compassion

We're all on a journey, and I believe in offering kindness and understanding, not judgment.

Why I do what I do...

For years, I’ve seen women caught in the same frustrating cycle:

📍 Following rigid diets that lead to feelings of deprivation and overeating

📍 Struggling with cravings and emotional eating, feeling out of control around food

📍 Obsessing over weight and numbers, but never feeling at peace with themselves

Many women turn to dieting with the hope that it will improve their body image and boost their confidence. But diets often reinforce negative beliefs about our bodies, leaving us feeling stuck in a never-ending cycle of self-judgment.

I believe every woman deserves to have a healthy and joyful relationship with food and her body. But I also know how difficult that can be, especially after years of dieting and restriction. Dieting is exhausting. It’s frustrating. It’s discouraging. And, unfortunately, it rarely works.

I understand these struggles intimately, both from my personal experience and my professional training. That’s why I’m dedicated to helping women break free from the diet cycle and discover the transformative power of intuitive eating. I see our work together as a partnership. I’ll provide the tools, knowledge, and unwavering support, and you bring your courage and willingness to heal.

What we can achieve together:

✨ Reconnect with your body’s natural hunger and fullness cues

✨ Ditch harmful food rules and embrace a balanced, sustainable way of eating

✨ Heal your relationship with food and break free from emotional eating

I'm here to support you every step of the way, providing guidance, understanding, and a safe space for you to rediscover the joy of eating – a way that nourishes both your body and your soul.

and promoting a healthy intuitive way of eating.
